SHE LAST.
A Lady who Proved TO be a Match For
Her husband

A Cheyenne lady recently sent away IS
to be invested in lottery tickets. She
didn't mention it to her husband, who
belongs to a well known drug firm, but
he accidentally found it out. A few days
after the drawing took place he rushed
home excitedly and asked his wife if she
had invested in the lottery. The lady
calmly replied that she had.
Then our fortune is made, he yelled,
for I've lust received a letter announcing
that you have drawn $4,000"
The lady was carried away with Joy,
and received the congratulations of a
select circle of friends with Ill concealed
delight.
1t seems that the lady had really drawn
a blank, as most people appear to have a
faculty of doing. Sometime later her
husband explained to her that he had
been playing a practical joke,
but the lady was sure she
had won and declined to believe the con-
trary. When the truth subsequently
dawned on her she determined to get
even. Leaving her husband under the
impression that she believed she had
drawn the prize she went down town and
nominally made the purchase of a S285
pin. This she exhibited in triumph to
her husband, who kicked like a mule at
the extravaganza. The lady smiled
sweetly and replied hat as she now had
$500 of her W money, she'd like to
know the reason why she shouldn't in
dulge her little whims.
The husband was paralyzed. Unless
he finds out through his LEADER this
morning the boy will explain to him at
noon to-day that she also played a practi-
cal joke.

s.Held BY the Enemy,

1t is an unusually rare occurrence for
any play produced in New York to re
ceive the unanimous endorsement of the
entire press of that city. Held By the
Enemy, William Gillette's successful
American play. which will be presented
at the opera house on Saturday evening,
seems to have tickled their fancy, Judging
from the excellent criticisms it has re-
ceived. The following is taken from the
New York Herald.
William Gillette's remarkable play,
Held By the Enemy, delighted and
thrilled an audience that filled every seat
in the Madison square theater last night.
1t stormed every barrier of criticism and
made every heart a captive. No other
drama OF recent years can compete with
it. 1t is a column in the temple of drama
chiseled out of native material. and
beautiful in its strength and purity"

"PLL HAVE SOME FUN"
How Aston, Alleged Horse Thief,
Attempted TO Escape.

Andrew Aston, the alleged horse thief
landed in the Laramie county jail by
Malcolm Campbell, an Albany county
deputy, halls from Texas, and is consid-
cred a rather tough customer. He stole
a horse, saddle and bride from the Hat
creek ranch of Red" Tom Swan, rode
the animal to the Albany county ranch
of Maj. Frank Wolcott. where he sue
ceeded in obtaining employment, and
then turned Mr.. Swans pony loose upon
the range. 1t is naturally supposed that
had he not succeeded in obtaining a situa-
ton near Douglas he would have contin-
ued riding the stolen horse, and would
nave scarcely stopped before reaching the
British possessions.
When Officer Campbell received in
structisns from Cheyenne to apprehend
the criminal he located the man and tele-
graphed to Sheriff Sharpless for a war
rant, which was promptly forwarded.
Upon receipt of the document Campbell
started after the man and experienced no
difficulty in finding him. After riding
along the road with the suspected thief
for a couple OF miles, the officer asked:
Isn't your name Andrew Aston?'
mo" responded the cowboy, at the
same time drawing his hat over his eyes.
my name is Frank Lawrence, and I'm
going to a camp about a mile from here"
well, you answer the description of
Andrew Aston pretty well. I'm an Off
Ger, and arrest you on the charge of horse
stealing"
Where's your warrant? You can't
arrest me without authority from the
territory"
Here's the paper that calls for you,'
remarked the deputy as he produced the
warrant and read it.
That's all right. but l propose to
have a little fun with you," said the thief
as he wheeled his horse and started off
toward the mountains as rapidly as the
horse could travel,
He had proceeded scarcely fifty yards
when he looked over his shoulder at
Campbell and observed that the officer
was pointing a ''cut-off six shooter
directly at his head.
The thief refined his horse SO suddenly
that the animal nearly fell to the ground,
and simply remarked: 81 didn't think
you had a gun"
Campbell had the revolver in his pants
pocket, and Aston had supposed that he
was unarmed.
The prisoner was not manacled during
the journey, but did not make a second
attempt to escape. He formerly lived at
Lusk. and is well acquainted with Nc
Coy, Watson, Trumble and Lockwood.

Abolish German in the Schools.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journals
In a recent communication to the Journal Mr..
Jagemann, of Bloomington, defends the teach
ing of German in the public schools by alleging,
in substance, that the statement that pupils get
but mere smatteringr of the language is un-
true, as he knows from personal observation
that the language is well taught and that pupils
get very considerable knowledge of the tongue
This. to me, is a new phase of the discussion.
and one of no consequence or pertinence to the
real question at issue. OF course, if German is
not we'll taught. there is double objection to
the system. But the point l desire to empha-
size is that no German should be taught at ALL
good, bad. Indifferent There is no necessity
for Incorporating it part of the common
school system of the United States. No such de-
sign was intended by the founders of the system.
The people of Indiana are to day grooming under
the payment of taxes, and part of that tax is for
the purpose of perpetuatng foreign tongue in
our midst No ore has any objection to Ger
mans or any one else paying for it themselves at
private schools But the public must not be
called upon to pay the fiddler. Abolish German
in the public schools. A LAWYER

THE DEFICIENCY BILL.

The Signal Service Seriously Crippled-No
Money for Payment of Snow-Shovelers.
WASHINGTON, March THE sigma. Service
is likely to be sadly pinched by the failure Of
the general deficiency appropriation bin. The
deficiency estimates for this service aggregated
$23. III, large part of the total being estimated
for transportation and mileage. The estimate
for transportation of men and baggage was a
small item, amounting to but $2325, but the
failure of Congress to appropriate that sum will
cause much embarrassment, for. according to
the statement of the Chief Signal Officer, it is
now impossible to move a man, even to dis
charge or reenlst him, or to replace those who
are dead or dangerously i'll. The term of serv-
ice of a number of men has expired, but they
must be retained in the corps from lack of
money to send them to their homes. The most
serious consequence OF the failure or the BILL
perhaps, will be the discontiruauce OF the storm
warnings, cold waves, ETC., at number OF I'M
portant points. owing to the failure of the item
appropriating $18, 600 for telegraphng and re-
porting these warnings. Sc nearly exhausted Is
the sum now available for this purpose that a
heavy cut must be made in the service at very
early day.
The Postmaster-general said to-day that the
failure of the deficiency bill will probably not in
any way interfere with the operations of his de-
partment except the department OF Tree delivery
service in new places.
One of the things involved in the failure of
the general deficiency bill is the inability OF the
District government to pay twenty five laborers
for shoveling snow from the sidewalks during
recent storms These men are hired at the rate
of So day, and as the appropriation for such
labor was exhausted during the winter, they
cannot get the balance of their hard earned
money until Congress meets again, unless they
sell their small claims to the money sharks at a
dscaprf

tween the States can be legitimately affected by
State laws is when, by virtue of its police power
and Its jurisdiction over persons and property
within its limits. State provides for the secur-
ity of lfe limb, health, comfort and property,
or when it does those things which may Incl
dentaly affect commerce. But in making such
internal regulations, State cannot impose
taxes on persons passing through or coming in
merely for temporary purpose, nor upon prop
erty imported and not yet become part OF the
common mass; and discrimination can be
made by any such regulation. adversely to the
persons or property of other States, and no regu-
lation can be made directly affecting inter
interstate commerce the United States
are, in the opinion of this court,
but one country, and are and must be subject to
one system of regulations, and not to multi
tu6e of regulations 1t seems to be forgotten
that the people of this country are citizens of
the United States as we'll as of the individual
States and that they have some rights under
the Constitution and laws of the former indie

ference or restraint from them To deny the

OF sale by dpnmmer, will be liable to taxa

on interstate commerce ITSELF If the employ
ment of drummers injuriously affects local
trade. Congress may be appealed TO toAmake such
regulations as the case may demand, and Con-
gress alone can do this. The confusion into
which the commerce OF the country would be
thrown by being subjected to State legislation
on this subject would be, the court says but q
repetition of the disorder which prevailed under
the old Articles of Confederation. The judgment
of the Supreme Court of Tennessee is reversed,
and the plaintiff in error is ordered to be dis
charged. Opinion by Justice Bradley-the Chief
justice and Justices Field and Gray dissenting
on the ground that the law in question is ap-
pcable to drummers coming into the Shelby
county district from other parts of Tennessee as
we'll to those from other States, and to relieve
the latter from taxation imposed on the former
would be discrimination against the citizens of
the State
